OK, I'll bite, could you please explain "the Mendoza line" to me?Not all guns are created equal so there is something to say about price point, but $600. is a bit high to me because I buy $500. guns mostly. Normally I don’t buy guns below the Mendoza line but I broke that rule with a sweet Colt Frontier Scout of 1962 vintage so now I never say never.
That's one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard in a while--its almost to the point of not being worth dignifying. Your buddies are truly talking out their arses.
"Under $600" would likely include the vast majority of all pistols issued to police and military around the world.
The statement might only get interesting if it were <$300.
I don't buy used guns
Yet, you likely own quite a few. I've never been able to fathom the aversion to purchasing used on something that lasts as long as a gun.
for this discussion it's $200. or less, in baseball it's <215 batting average.OK, I'll bite, could you please explain "the Mendoza line" to me?
Ah, if we were getting down to under $200 price range the we'd be in a whole different thread:
There are plenty of good reasons to stay away from used weapons in general. Ever been to a range? Take a look at the way some people treat their firearms. That's enough for me to stay away from the random used guns I see in shops. I don't generally buy used firearms, but I won't tell anyone not to buy used either. Someone has to.Yet, you likely own quite a few. I've never been able to fathom the aversion to purchasing used on something that lasts as long as a gun.
